~ Impromptu Table ~

The last couple of days we've been snow bound, a perfect time to do some major cleaning, catch up on a couple of projects and put together an impromptu table for two. Seeing all the white outside I was craving a bit of color on the inside.

Setting a table doesn't have to be expensive. I ran across these colorful dishes at the Dollar Tree. They magically jumped into my cart, not to make a scene I quietly pushed the cart to the check out counter paid for them and got the heck out of dodge before any other dishes found their way into my cart. ( I'm like a magnet they have tendency to to that)

The balance of bright colors with stripes can be a challenge, if over done it's like the best cut of steak burned to a crisp, done just right you have a mouth watering steak you can't get enough of.

The wooden sign hanging between the living area and dining room has been a favorite of mine for years. Nothing like feeling comfortable enough to sit around the table and do just that:

Sit Long Talk Much Laugh A Lot.

A great motto to live by daily.

I spotted the new forecast for the first of the week, looks like doctors appointments will be cancelled, I won't take a chance driving in Kansas City if it isn't necessary. Looks like I'll be working on another project or two.

Nice finds! I am past due for a trip to DT, and I try to keep my distance from the area where the dishes are. No room left in my abode. :) Like the bowl of grapes. I have lots of them hanging around my kitchen/dining area, but not as many as I use to have.Sorry about the forecast. :/ We are suppose to get rain (again) on Monday.Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

Your table is so pretty and just the right amount of color! You are going to have a lot of fun in the summer with these dishes, too. They'd make a great outdoor tablescape. Love the glasses, too. I definitely need some Dollar Tree therapy! ;-D

Hi Lynn! This table looks great! I just bought those pretty yellow bowls from Dollar Tree myself this week and they're in my current tablescape on my blog too! Love them! I really like how you put all these together! =)

You have definitely bought some color inside! Love all of the bright colors. I so wish that my Dollar Tree had such pretty things. I think we are in one of those areas that the stores pretty much ignore. I used to find great things at Cracker Barrel. I went by the other day and there was virtually no china. When I asked about the lack of merchandise, I was told they are now a "Baby Barrel" and do not get the things they used to carry. Oh well, Atlanta is not too far away! Thanks for sharing your pretty table!
